At noon, Chu Ci and Ning Xuejun returned after eating out together. For the past few days, after getting along with Chu Ci, Ning Xuejun always felt that she was repeatedly refreshing her senses.
At first, Ning Xuejun had felt that Chu Ci was indifferent and detached from everything apart from Lin Yuan. But after interacting with her, Ning Xuejun realized that was not the case. She did not feel that faint sense of detachment either.
Ning Xuejun finally understood that the sense of detachment actually originated from her character of not wanting to bother about anything that did not concern her, as well as a hint of shyness.
Elder Ning had been researching on how to nurture the Spiral-Toothed Shark, as usual, these days. Therefore, Ning Xuejun was always with Chu Ci, regardless of whether they were eating or resting, and they gradually became friends.
“Chu Ci, we’re not going to this place to eat tomorrow. Why do they have to put so much garlic in their cold dishes! I still have to attend to some newcomers for the Creation Master’s test in the afternoon!” Ning Xuejun pouted.
Upon hearing what Ning Xuejun said, Chu Ci took a piece of watermelon-flavored hard candy out of her pocket. It had a very refreshing watermelon flavor and could cover up the strong garlic smell in the mouth.
Chu Ci had always had the habit of putting a piece of hard candy in her pocket, as Lin Yuan used to get dizzy from time to time due to his weak body or him having low blood sugar because of the daily labor of maintaining a small store. She would give the hard candy to Lin Yuan when he was feeling dizzy.
Even though Lin Yuan’s body was now healthy again, Chu Ci still maintained her habit of nearly ten years.
When Ning Xuejun saw Chu Ci hand her the hard candy, her eyes lit up, and she put it in her mouth before saying exaggeratedly, “Chu Ci, the watermelon-flavored hard candy tastes so good! It’s much better than chocolate.”
Two spirit qi professionals were sitting in the hall on the first floor of the Creation Master Association. They seemed to be women in their 20s and were dressed very beautifully. They should have made an appointment with a Creation Master to nurture their feys.
At that moment, Chu Ci suddenly heard the long-haired female spirit qi professional say, “Last night, my best friend complained tearfully to me that her boyfriend of eight years cheated on her.”
The other short-haired female spirit qi professional was clearly interested and responded, “For what reason? Why did he cheat on her? Eight years are so long that they should even already have kids!”
The long-haired female spirit qi professional was fiddling with the decorations on her spirit qi clothes and said with great contempt, “There are no good men.”
The other spirit qi professional hurriedly replied, “Yes, I think so too! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have always been single.”
Just after she finished speaking, the long-haired female spirit qi professional next to her said with a sigh, “Eight whole years of relationship! Surprisingly, he couldn’t resist a single seduction from me.”
Ning Xuejun coughed after listening to this conversation, almost choking on the watermelon-flavored hard candy in her mouth.
Chu Ci revealed a strange look and could not help but think in her heart, Is this the world of adults? It’s just too scary! Luckily, I’m just a kid.
In the afternoon, Ning Xuejun received the newcomers who came to take the Creation Master test.
On the other hand, Chu Ci was in Ning Xuejun’s office watching the videos of defense-type spirit qi professionals fighting in the S Tournament on Star Web, hoping to learn their defense techniques. Just at this moment, she received Lin Yuan’s call.
When she entered his breeding room, she saw that her contracted Sharp Iron Horn Bull was much stronger than before, be it in size or the sharpness of its horns.
Lin Yuan was feeding some spiritual metal ingredients to the Sharp Iron Horn Bull so that it could accumulate more energy to prepare to evolve into a Fantasy Breed.
Lin Yuan stood up upon seeing Chu Ci come in and said, “Chu Ci, your Sharp Iron Horn Bull is now at Legend. Fuse the Willpower Rune that you’ve comprehended with it, and it’ll be able to evolve into a Fantasy Breed.”
Chu Ci looked at the Sharp Iron Horn Bull, surprised at its significant changes over five days. Although she knew what Creation Masters could do, she had never seen or felt that in school.
The Sharp Iron Horn Bull was rubbing its cheek affectionately against Chu Ci’s palm.
While Chu Ci was surprised at the Sharp Iron Horn Bull’s change, she also felt happy with its growth brought about by its quality upgrade.
The splendor and magnificence of life laid in development and evolution. Each development and evolution of a fey was a small epitome of the greatness of life.
Lin Yuan raised his brow at Chu Ci’s astonished look and said with a smile, “Only when you fuse the Willpower Rune with the Sharp Iron Horn Bull will it truly go through metamorphosis. Chu Ci, how did you come into contact with and comprehend the Willpower Rune? This is very important, as it will affect your exclusive skill.”
Chu Ci stuck out her tongue and carefully glanced at Lin Yuan before answering in embarrassment, “It was when I fought against the seniors, and the Sharp Iron Horn Bull was knocked down repeatedly, but it still got up and charged forward. Because of this, I felt its steel-like willpower and comprehended the Willpower Rune.”
Lin Yuan held his forehead. What else could he say? Chu Ci had gotten her Willpower Rune out of roughness!
Had his plan to forge his sister into an iron bucket been botched at this point?
Lin Yuan looked at Chu Ci’s cautious expression and rubbed the hair on her head before saying, “I’ll be behind you on your path, so just proudly stride forward!”
Chu Ci smiled brightly and nodded. Then, she said silently in her heart, Brother, I also want to tell you that I can stand behind you. Even if I can’t protect you, I think I can help you and fight side by side with you!
She summoned the Willpower Rune from the spiritual spatial zone. When she had summoned it outside previously, it had flashed past, so Lin Yuan had not had the chance to carefully feel it.
But now, this greenish-black Willpower Rune brought out unyielding willpower and a rich metallic feeling that made Lin Yuan feel moved. Through this Willpower Rune, he could see how hardworking a 15-year-old girl and her Bronze Sharp Iron Horn Bull had been.
Chu Ci fused this greenish-black Willpower Rune with the Sharp Iron Horn Bull, causing an intense mooing sound to resound in the breeding room.
It was not as calm as when the Jasmine Lily had evolved into a Fantasy Breed.
In the rich metal halo, the Sharp Iron Horn Bull’s body trembled violently, clearly enduring the pain. Suddenly, the metal halo flourished, and a pure masstone rose from the greenish-black halo.
At that moment, Lin Yuan and Chu Ci realized that the horns on its head and the sharp sword-like horn on its forehead instantly melted. Then, its body was enveloped in the sudden bloom of the metal halo.
